Las Vegas - Giannis is officially out against Denver tonight. With the Greek Freak, the Bucks would probably be a small favorite over the Nuggets. Without Giannis, the line will swing all the way to Denver as a favorite. Antetokounmpo is probably worth at least five points, maybe more. And PG George Hill is also listed as doubtful. The Nuggs are one of the best home teams in the NBA, sitting with a 24-8 record in the Mile High City, and have covered six of the last nine at the Pepsi.

Las Vegas - National TV. Bragging rights, temporarily, in the City of Angels. L.A. vs. L.A. LeBron vs. Kawhi. So far, it's the Clippers up 2-0. They won the season opener 112-102 as a +3.5 point underdog, then posted a 111-106 W on Christmas Day as a 2.5 point dog. The Clips come in on a 6-0 run, while the Lake Show has won 10 of the last 11. If we find a -2 or less, say hi to Kawhi!

Las Vegas - Gonna drop a pair of sweet two team 6-point teasers. First up, take St. John's at home from a pick'em to +6 points against Marquette. Staying in the Big East, grab Villanova, and drop the Wildcats down from -6 to pick'em against Georgetown. Love Patrick Ewing, but his kids don't have enough firepower to hang with 'Nova.

Las Vegas - Switch over to some late night action here in Vegas as Utah State takes on Wyoming in the Mountain West Conference Tourney. Once again, we look at the KenPom ratings, and KP has the Aggies from Logan slotted in at #39, with a rating of 14.81. If you're looking to find the Cowboys from Laramie, keep going down the list, keep going, keep going, all the way down to #246, yea TWO HUNDRED FORTY SIX! They have a rating of MINUS 7.19, which makes State, on paper, like 21 points better.

Las Vegas - Northern Iowa vs. Drake is the first game up today on the Missouri Valley Conference slate, and we're on the Panthers from Cedar Falls. Northern doesn't get much love, much ink, or much chatter from the talking heads, but these kids can play. Don't believe me, just ask Ken Pomeroy, or KenPom as he is known around the country. His ratings are a great measuring stick, and he has Northern Iowa at #38 in the country, with a 15.30 rating. Obviously, you wanna know where Drake is.
